Book Description:
A steamy, forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers, close proximity, dark Bratva stand-alone romance by USA Today bestselling author, Jane Henry
In the dark shadows of the Bratva Underworld, where my family reigns, there are no rules — only power.
My life is black and white. Every choice designed to protect my family and crush our enemies.
Trust is a luxury I can't afford.
Then she comes—Isabella Morales, disguised as a boy, burning with defiance and danger.
Forbidden fruit, the daughter of rival cartel, she holds secrets that could unravel everything I've fought for. Letting her live could be my demise.
But now she's mine.
When she tries to run, I catch her. I vow I'll punish her for what she's done and teach her there's no escape. But Isabella is no ordinary captive. Half crazed, fearless, and seductive, the line between captor and captive quickly blurs.
In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and fear, Isabella is the one weakness I can't afford. But as our enemies close in, we're forced to navigate the deadly game of power and deceit.
I'll bind her to me and make her mine in a battle where surrender is the ultimate sin.
My Thoughts: 5/5 stars
These books just don't disappoint - I know I have a lot of them at five stars but they're all deserving. As soon as I get the notification it's available for download, I'm starting it as soon as possible. While these follow a similar formula, I love it every time and there are always the slight variations to keep us guessing. SHACKLED is book four in this series and while I recommend reading the other books you don't technically HAVE to. All of these were two sitting reads - mostly because of responsibilities and needing to get some sleep. So clear out some time before starting!
This story follows the youngest of the Romanov brothers, Lev. Organized crime relies on marriage to grow their reach and power, so when Isabella, the sister of the head of the most ruthless cartel, is caught spying, they take this as an opportunity. Unite their bratva and get an in with the violent cartel to strengthen their reach and try to overthrow her brother from power. Isabella is a force to be reckoned with and I had a lot of fun seeing how their dynamic developed - there's no containing this cartel queen.
As with the others, this has plenty of action and suspense, great characters, and LOTS of spice. I know the author has a full list of trigger warnings available on her website for the book (as well as the others). I'm not sure which brother is my favorite yet, but Lev is up there. I'm excited because there's one more brother and a sister, so I'm hoping for more in the series to come soon!

Fueled by dark chocolate and even darker coffee, USA Today bestselling author Jane Henry writes what she loves to read— character-driven, unputdownable romance featuring dominant alpha males and the powerful heroines who bring them to their knees. She's believed in the power of love and romance since Belle won over the beast, and finally decided to write love stories of her own.
